タコの踊り食い! Live octopus!
今日は息子の誕生日当日。“何が食べたい?”と聞いたら『生きたロブスタ〜』と言いよった。9歳児が言うかな、普通。。まあ、いいや。前から行きたいと思っていたこちらに行ってきました。
Today was his actual birthday. When I asked him what he wanted for dinner, he immediately said"Live Lobster!" I don't know how the 9 year old request such a thing, but oh well, I wanted to check this place anyway....
Queensにある、『食客』。ここは実はこれで有名。
This place in Queens is famous for....
生きたタコ君達!
Live Octopus!
まず座るなり、元気なお兄ちゃんが目玉焼きをポン、ポン、ポーンと焼いてくれます。途中で、あらヨット、と卵を宙に飛ばしてひっくり返してくれました。息子、『プロだな。。。』同感。
As soon as you sit down, a super energetic server cracks some eggs to make fried egg. He flipped the eggs in the air to make sunny side down. My son was really impressed and mumbled "He's a professional, mom" Son, I agree.
でた〜!これ、動いてます、かなり激しく。吸盤がお箸にくっついて、もう、大変!
Wooooow! This was moving..quite aggressively.....the suction of the tentacles stuck to the chopsticks and everywhere....it was quite a sight!
おお〜、君いきますか。なかなか肝がすわっておるのう。
Really? You're gonna go for it? Wow, I did raise you right....!
ほっぺたにくっついた。。。あ、でもこれ、私も食べましたが、冗談抜きで絶品です。本当に美味しかった。一人で一皿食べれます。視覚的なものを乗り越えたなら。
Stuck to the cheeks, hah? Oh but seriously, this was delicious. I think I can eat the whole plate next time.....if you can get over the visual aspect of this, it's such a delicacy.
ジャ〜ン!メインの海鮮地獄鍋。ロブスターが上でまだ動いてます。貝、蟹、海老、烏賊、タコ、そして下には野菜とうどん。すご過ぎる。殻を入れるためのバケツが各自足下に置かれました。この大胆な感じ、好きです!
TaDa! The main dish, seafood hot pot with live lobster...it's still moving on the top. This hot pot is loaded with clams, crab, shrimp, squid, octopus , vegetables and udon noodle. Talk about over load! Each of us a given a bucket under the table to put the shells. Love this dynamic presentation!
しかし、食べても、食べても減らない。すごいボリュームです。半分もいかぬ内にギブアップ。残りは持ち帰りにしてもらいました。
Oh boy, this was such a big portion. No matter how much we ate, we didn't see the bottom...we finally gave up and it wasn't even half way through.....the rest was packed nicely in a tight bucket to be brought home.
食後のサービス、胡瓜のジュース。爽やかで美味しかった!
Complimentary dessert, cucumber juice. So refreshing and yummy!
